Windshield wipers do not function properly.
Windshield wiper failure as stated in recall 03v159000, but this vehicle was not included due to VIN.
I havve a '94 chevy z71 4x4 silveraldo pick up, the windsheild wipers work when they want to! Sometimes I can get them to come on. Then sometimes they come on when they want to. Alot of times they just stop in the middle of the windsheild. It was manufactured in 08/93. I called the dealer and they told me my VIN number was not part of the recall. So I went ahead and paid $58.00+ for a new circut board for the wiper motor. It seemed to have fixed the problem. We will see when I really need them the most. I feel my issue should be covered under the gm recall no. 03023. I am sure there are more customers with this same problem. It is a very dangerous issue!!!!! To say least.
The transmission was replaced at 15,312 miles, defaulted to 2nd gear. The transmission was not seeming to stay in gear at 47,028 miles, engine would suddenly rev-up then slowly take off (diagnosed by dealer as fuel pick up problem); however, I had their transmission service done at that time, 10 months ago. Now at 53485 miles the automatic transmission not shifting into gears automatically (dealer say it needs to be replaced again).
Windshield wiper malfunction. Same symptoms that LED to the federal safety agency (campaign id #03v159000) and general motors (#03023) recalls. Vehicle was built very late in model year 1993, undoubtedly with the same defective part that prompted the recall beginning with 1994 model vehicles.
Winshield wipers intermittently fail to operate in all modes slow,fast,interm.). Problem has gotten worse.
I own a 1993 chevrolet k series pick up and am experiencing windshield wiper motor failure. The wipers will intermittently stop working usually in bad weather(heavy rain and snow). I understand there is a gm recall 03023 for vehicles of 1994 -1998. After reading this it is exactly what happens to my vehicle. Why are 1993's not included in this?
My windshield wipers have not worked well for over a year. The motor and switch is sound but the circuit board does not send the signal to activate the wipers either at normal speed, high speed, or intermittent. It also will not activate the fluid washer though its motor is sound. Please add my year to the recall investigation.
The paint is flaking off all the way down to the bare metal.
